Food Program Operations (TM 4-41.12) - Department of the Army - Bog

The Army garrison food program is a multi-billion dollar a year business encompassing personnel, subsistence, contract and equipment costs. Although Installation and Garrison Commanders are ultimately responsible for the installation food program, they rely on many activities and organizations to oversee daily food service operations. This technical manual (TM) provides procedures for food program operations in an effort to assist in this task. It provides guidance for commanders, food program managers (FPMs), subsistence supply managers (SSMs), food service warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, dining facility managers (DFMs) and food service personnel. This manual is the second part of a total rewrite of field manual (FM) 10-23-2, Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures for Garrison Food Preparation and Class I Operations Management. All topics related to food program management and subsistence supply management from this FM have been included in this manual. All garrison dining facility management, operations and techniques are contained in TM 4-41.11, "Dining Facility Operations."
